Beam Dance Vs. Snipe

So I am hitting 550k-600k on bosses with snipe per line and 225k-275k with beam dance per line. I know that all of the pro's use beam dance when they hit 50m since its dps is faster, but which would be better in my case? thanks

[quote=CherryTigers]Snipe also has innate %pdr so that adds to the DPS of it. Snipe has better application in most bossing situations and blade dance is nice to use if you need to move around or dodge things slightly such as gollux's jaw or some situations in hard magnus or simply mobbing if you don't want to change your mecha purge.

Both should be used but snipe is overall a better bossing attack.

Remember, DPS is not everything. In boss fights, the most important thing is survival. Both attacks have different applications that you must use to maximize the skills.[/quote]

You sir, speak the truth, but since my range isn't high enough to fight bosses that require any skill, the i'll stick to snipe for a while.

[quote=alanron14]Yea, but like I can't really tell which has better dps, because beam dance attacks so fast, but snipe has bigger hits[/quote]

Why not use Beam Snipe?
